Private Placement Financing

The Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement financing for gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the "Financing"). This is expected to consist of up to 1,315,790 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.38 per Unit, or as determined by Great Eagle management in accordance with Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange") regulations. Each Unit will include one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will be exercisable for an additional common share of Great Eagle at $0.75 per share for twenty-four months following the closing of the Financing. The Financing, subject to an over-allotment of up to $150,000 at the Company' s discretion, will be subject to Exchange acceptance, and all securities issued will adhere to a four-month hold period as per applicable securities legislation.

Great Eagle plans to pay finder's fees of up to 10% in cash and warrants in connection with the Financing. Certain directors, officers, and insiders of Great Eagle may participate in the Financing. Net proceeds are expected to be used for acquisition due diligence reviews, payment of current liabilities and ongoing working capital requirements.

Andrew Fletcher, CEO of Great Eagle, commented, "This small working capital financing is primarily being used to complete the evaluation and due diligence on potential new acquisition targets. During the past several months, Great Eagle has been diligently reviewing dozens of potential acquisition candidates. We are pleased to have short-listed that evaluation process and are now entering into the final negotiation stage process and anticipate an exciting road ahead."
